8 Delicious Low-Salt Recipes

Sprinkling on a few shakes of salt may seem harmless enough, but this flavor boost comes at a high price. Salt is actually one of the deadliest ingredients in the food supply. High amounts of sodium can raise blood pressure, which in turn can cause cardiovascular disease, and may also increase your risk of dementia, saltsolution, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and cancer. Plus a heavy hand on the saltshaker may even add inches to your waist.

If you want to decrease the sodium in your diet and enjoy healthy and delicious meals while dropping pounds, eating in is the way to go. Experiment with new flavors and foods with our quick and easy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. They’re so delicious you’ll never miss the salt!
